Old Pulteney Noss Head

The pale color belies the deep and complex flavor of this single malt. Aged in old bourbon barrels, this “maritime malt” is both spicy and sweet. Very enjoyable neat.

Vanilla, caramel and green apple on the nose. On the palate it's smooth with a lot of raw wood flavor, grass, caramel. Pretty sweet. Finish is a bit atomic with caramel dominating. 30 seconds and it's gone.

Sweet an citrus on the nose. Briny too. Taste with light spices, apples, pear, and a lot of fresh lemon peels and grassy notes. aftertaste chocolate, caramel.

Nose: Light and fresh, citrus fruits & apples, with cereal notes. Also a vague hint of something ”industrial”, which is hard to pin-point, but not unplessant -> Characterfull. Touch of vanilla. Palate: Spirit driven (young) and again fresh. Milky Almonds, apples (or perhaps pears?), and a sweetness well balanced by some salty bitter (but not oaky) undertones. Finish: The almonds turn into milk chocholate, but with a certain freshness. Medium-long. Like it. Overall: Great combination of being light, but yet characterfull. Great when yor not in the mood for a dark complex aged whisky, but still don’t want a ”meh” experience. I just killed my bottle an I may very well pick up a new one next time I travel. Solid 3.75 and very close to an even higher mark.
